US EditionTrump considers suspending writ of habeas corpus to combat judges blocking deportations
- President Donald Trump has suggested suspending the writ of habeas corpus to counteract judges blocking immigration deportations in 2025 in the United States.
- Trump's consideration follows ongoing legal challenges obstructing his policies, including court injunctions halting deportations and immigration enforcement efforts.
- Historically, habeas corpus suspension occurred rarely during national emergencies under Presidents Lincoln, Grant, and Roosevelt, providing context for its potential use now.
- The Constitution allows the suspension of habeas corpus only during rebellion or invasion when necessary for public safety, and in early March, Trump utilized the Alien Enemies Act as a basis to expedite the deportation of illegal immigrant gang members.
- If courts continue blocking enforcement, Trump may employ this drastic measure, highlighting mounting tensions between the executive branch and judiciary over immigration control.
